targeting computer

[darkova]

does the assist aim only calculate a targets forward velocity?

[Vice]

It calculates movement in any direction. The farther away a target is, the longer it has to change that movement and evade gunfire however.

ah i see its just when i fight a computer they sometimes enter a wild spin and then my predicted aiming seems to go haywire

[Vice]

Yes, one of the tactics you'll need to use is preventing them from being able to spin like that. It's a maneuver they intentionally perform to throw off your MDTS. The farther away you are from them, the more effective the maneuver is. If you're behind them, move in closer using the afterburner as needed. If they are trying to bait you into following a ship so others can attack you or if you want to avoid the spinning evasion, fly at about a 30-degree angle away from being directly behind them, again use the afterburner as needed, as you approach a more perpendicular angle to them, they'll likely break from the spin and try to reposition or turn around for an attack.

LOL...the enemy use to make me spin like that when they hit me with one of their missiles....Hahahaha...:P:P:P:P

Just switch the MTDS off and go on old style filling their spin with a stream of banshee shells.

[Maarschalk]

Yes, I do that some times....:P:P:P:P
